  1. If you're leading off the inning, down 1 in the 9th, and ground out on a 2-0 pitch, you should have your children taken away.
  2. Well now, I pitch low and I pitch high And if I do neither, a dinger flies Got the wings of Blyleven on my shoes I'm a big Twins fan and I just can't lose You know it's alright, it's okay I'll live to see another day We can try to understand The sticky rule's effect on man…
  3. Remember the "Terminator" movies? Well, age hasn't been kind to Arnold. I went to his new release, and it's called "Exterminator."
  4. Uh, it's July, Stringer. Forget your meds again?
  5. I predict this is Nelson Cruz's last game in a Twins uniform. If so, adios and muchas gracias, Senior Cruz. You are not only a fantastic addition to the lineup, but a class act. Buena suerte.
  6. You're not getting paid for this??
  7. So ... Houston was able to instantly fix Pressly, but wouldn't be able to fix Alcala?
  8. I say this having not contributed: the comments in this thread are fantastic and a reason why TD is a great community. Thanks to all.
  9. In general I prefer major leaguers to prospects, but If the front office can get someone with Ynoa's arm for Pineda I'd be pretty impressed. It's also not really accurate to describe Ynoa as just another "rookie ball pitcher with a 5 ERA." The Twins had given Ynoa $800,000 to sign just a couple years earlier. He was a huge FA get out of the DR.
  10. So the Twins get a pass because prospects take time, but don't take the blame when Ynoa goes the other way and is producing NOW in the big leagues? Get credit for how Alcala SHOULD be doing?
  11. Which pedestrian players are in the HOF?
  12. Per the Sox broadcast, Pineda's average FB velo has dropped about 1 MPH in each of the last 5 seasons.
  13. Read through the comments. I bet I can find other examples, including at fangraphs. It's a new age baseball truism, Mike. Stated often. I don't agree.
  14. Pineda looked pretty bad to my eyes. Struggled to reach 90 on the FB, slider had very little tilt. He's still got pretty good command, but not much else.
  15. For the record, Pineda looked pretty cooked today. Struggled to reach 90 on FB. Slider was spotty at best.
  16. To be fair, he's talking about baseball players, and there's nothing that baseball players do that makes it easy to tell if they're right or left handed, like wear a glove on their off hand or something.
  17. Watched the Sox broadcast today...Jason Benetti and Steve Stone. They're fantastic.
  18. Nobody said that. For one thing, RBI aren't measured by WAR. Also, for the record, the argument over D in WAR is the guesswork that passes for measurement.
